Moving On

Posted by Sara Coggins, Kids Connection Manager
During our New Year's visit to Savva Orphanage, we had the opportunity to see several recent graduates.  Two boys, Andre and Ruslan, are now studying at military college.  It was such an encouragement to see both of them.  They seem to be doing well and making good choices.  Often it is scary for youth to leave the orphanages.  They are often leaving behind the only stability that they know.  Many youth are influenced by peers and make poor choices as a result.  It was exciting to see two young men that are making such good choices in their lives.  Here is a picture of Andre in his military uniform.
